FAQ
Everything women ask us before they order, answered straight.
Fit & wear
Will it really not roll down when I sit or bend?
That's the whole point of the design. The waistband is wide and flat, with grip lining around the entire band, so there's no thin edge to fold over. Most roll-down happens when a narrow band folds as you sit. And if yours does roll in the first 90 days, you get a cash refund. Worn, washed, doesn't matter.
I sized up last time and it still rolled. How do I pick my size?
Go by your hip measurement first, then waist. If you're between sizes, size up for all-day comfort, or down for firmer smoothing. Sizing up can't fix a narrow waistband, which is usually why it rolled before. If your first size isn't right, the exchange is free and we send the label.
Will it show through a tight or thin dress?
The body is seamless and the leg bands are laser-cut, so they lie flat with no hem or ridge. It's made to disappear under jersey, linen and silk. Choose the color closest to your skin tone for very sheer or light fabrics.
Will the legs ride up?
The mid-thigh legs have flat laser-cut edges that sit against your skin rather than a tight elastic hem, so they stay down when you walk, sit and stand again.
How firm is the compression? Will it flatten my stomach?
It's light-to-moderate: it smooths your tummy, waist and thighs so clothes sit cleanly, without squeezing you in. It won't change your measurements, and it's comfortable enough to wear all day. If you want a firm, sculpting garment for a single event, this is the everyday version, not the corset.
Will it flatten my butt?
No. There's a ruched seam at the center back that gives a subtle lift and keeps your natural shape.
Is it hot to wear?
It's a single-layer stretch knit, lighter than double-layer or boned shapewear. On very hot days, we suggest wearing it for the event itself and giving your skin a break afterwards.
What about the bathroom?
It pulls down and back up like underwear. Because the band is wide and stretchy rather than boned, it goes back into place without a fight.
Can I wear it after having a baby or surgery?
Many women wear light shapewear postpartum for comfort under clothes, but Lissely isn't a medical compression garment. If you're recovering from birth or surgery, check with your doctor first.
Orders, returns & the guarantee
Is the refund really cash, or store credit?
Cash. Your refund goes back to your original payment method. We don't do store credit instead of refunds, and we never make bundles final sale.
Can I return shorts I've worn and washed?
Yes. You can't know whether shapewear works until you've worn it for a full day, so the 90-Day No-Roll Guarantee covers worn and washed pairs. Just send them back washed.
Who pays for return shipping?
We do. Email us your order number and we'll send a prepaid return label within one business day.
How long does shipping take? I have an event coming up.
Orders are dispatched within 1–2 business days and delivered in 3–8 business days in the US, with tracking. If you have a fixed date, email us before you order and we'll tell you honestly whether it will arrive in time.
Do I get signed up for a subscription?
No. There's no membership, no auto-ship and no monthly fee. You pay once for what's in your bag.
How do I contact a real person?
Email contact@lissely.com or use our contact form. A person, not a bot, replies within one business day.
How do I wash it so the grip lasts?
Cold, delicate cycle, inside a laundry bag. Lay flat to dry. Skip fabric softener and the dryer: both wear down the grip lining faster than anything else.
Wear it to the wedding. Then decide.
If your Lissely short rolls down, digs in or shows through your clothes in the first 90 days, you get every cent back.
